This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Meetings are indispensable when you don't want to do anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Meetings are indispensable when you don't want to do anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To look up and not down, To look forward and not back,  To look out and not in--and  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48367]]></link><description><![CDATA[To look up and not down, To look forward and not back,  To look out and not in--and   To lend a hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is not merely neglected in many of our schools today, but is replaced to a great extent by ideological ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66232]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is not merely neglected in many of our schools today, but is replaced to a great extent by ideological indoctrination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, colder than the wind that freezes Founts, that but now in sunshine play'd,  Is that congealing pang which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59634]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, colder than the wind that freezes Founts, that but now in sunshine play'd,  Is that congealing pang which seizes   The trusting bosom, when betray'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He loves basketball, and he loves the Heat.

No doubt there are very good excuses for this lack of discipline. Many forward-thinking men will tell you that the Bible is not worth serious attention, that it is simple, trivial, and out-of-date; and so, even though you may hear the Bible read, read it yourselves, or even study it, the tension of your energy may be relaxed -- subtly relaxed. But is quite certain that a widespread relaxation of the tension of Biblical interpretation has disastrous effects. For there is no corruption that threatens a country so surely as the corruption or sentimentalizing of its religion; and there is no corruption of the Christian religion so swift as that which sets in when the Church loses its strict Biblical discipline.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though the power be wanting, the will deserves praise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though the power be wanting, the will deserves praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57970]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you tell a story you automatically talk about traditions, but they're never separate from the people, the human implications. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59512]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you tell a story you automatically talk about traditions, but they're never separate from the people, the human implications.
